Legacy Mode Installation Using GPT Partitions

[m654321]

I am not a fan of installing Grub to a partition.

AustinTexas, does that mean you haven't created the 16MB Bios_grub partition on the GTP disk, as described in goldfinger's tutorial?
I am still having problems with the multiple-distro install: distro 1 installs ok, then can't get beyond distro 2. 

Goldfinger: if you pass by and happen to read this post, I'd really appreciate if you could comment on how to add the subsequent distros, following installation
of the first one as your tutorial only describes installation of a single distro (LL).  I have created separate partitions for swap and bios_grub, and am installing the OSes as root, i.e. no separate home partitions.  I want to install up to 20 distros on an old laptop (Dell D620) to show friends the diversity available within Linux.  I tried AustinTexas' advice for the multiple-distro install but without luck. 

Many thanks
Mike
